Frequently asked questions
How can I track the history of stock movements for a specific product?
You can use the list_inventory_changes tool by providing the product SKU. It will return a detailed history of inventory adjustments, helping you audit stock movements over time.
Is it possible to bulk update inventory levels across my warehouse?
Yes! The sync_inventory tool allows you to provide a URL to a CSV file containing your inventory data. The server will process the file and sync the levels for the specified warehouse ID.
What should I do if I only have a legacy numeric ID for an order or product?
Use the get_uuid tool. It is specifically designed to convert legacy numeric IDs into the opaque UUIDs required by the modern ShipHero API for entities like Orders or Products.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
